Flexdash uninstall

[novski]

I wanted to uninstall flexdash, but it seems as it is still listed.
I did many things to get rid spread of it over several days, so I am unable to determine what all I did anymore, but it was somewhat the same as @smanjunath211 did in this topic.
I was able to get rid of any loading in the log, and the .node-red/node_modules/@flexdash folder is gone (I think i rm -r @flexdash it maybe after some npm uninstall of the packages in that scope) but unfortunately the editor still shows the node in the installed packages.

Where can I manually delete those Palette entries?

Have you restarted node-red?
If so then open a command window, go into the .node-red directory (that is important), and run
npm remove @flexdash/node-red-flexdash
If that shows an error then paste it here.
Otherwise restart node-red.

done cd .node-red
Then npm remove @flexdash/node-red-flexdash
followed by an node-red-restart and reloaded the browser window.
The palette window shows the same as in the print screen above.

user@host:~/.node-red/node_modules $ cd ..
user@host:~/.node-red $ npm remove @flexdash/node-red-flexdash

If you run
node-red-stop
And refresh the browser what do you see?

[novski]

Firefox: "unable to connect"

[Colin]

Ok, that proves you are connecting to the correct node-red instance.
Which browser are you using?
Try clearing the cache in the browser, using the browsers menus, not relying on hot keys. Then refresh the browser page.
Can you try a different browser?

[novski]

same on Brave, Brave incognito and Chrome and Chrome Incognito.

[Colin]

Very strange. Can you post your .node-red/package.json file please

[novski]

Well there is nothing flexdash in there. Also the startup with Trace mode that you showed earlier does not show anything flexdash related.

Do the flexdash nodes appear in the palette on the left of the edit window? What happens if you drag one of them onto the flow, configure it, and Deploy?

[novski]

No, there are no flexdash nodes in the edit window anymore.
If I try to enable the module in the Palette Manager I get this error:

 - flexdash ctrl : Error: Cannot find module '/home/user/.node-red/node_modules/@flexdash/node-red-flexdash/flexdash-ctrl.js'

@novski

If I try to enable the module in the Palette Manager I get this error:

I think you have found a bug. If a module is disabled in the palette manager, and then it is removed using the command line then node-red gets into this confused state. I will submit a bug report, unless you would like to do it yourself (since you found it).

I suggest that you install it again using the command line, restart node-red, enable the node, then remove it again. Restart node red again, refresh the browser, and all should be well.

[novski]

I was able to solve it by installing the node over the Palette manager and removing it again over that.
What puzzles me is that I thought I tried that already. I think you can describe that bug better, so I ask you to do that…

[Colin]

@novski

I was able to solve it by installing the node over the Palette manager

How were you able to do that when it thought it was already installed.
Did you enable it before removing it?

[novski]

No, I did not enable it. I just searched in the Palette manager / Install tab for Flexdash and installed the package called node-red-flexdash and it reinstalled it (in my eyes).
Then I restarted and removed it in the Palette manager / nodes tab and it disapeard/successfully got uninstalled. I am quite certain that I have done that multiple times before…
